On Monday I provided a deputation to the Toronto District School Board Planning & Priorities meeting. My 5-minute bit starts at 24:50 (below). Then some Q&A. I felt a readiness to listen at the TDSB. Glad I was given the opportunity. www.tdsb.on.ca/Leadership/B...

I'm not a morning person, but I had perhaps my best-yet radio conversation before 7am this morning with Jonna Brewer (CBC New Brunswick) about public awareness of Long COVID. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...
